Michael Murphy (student leader)

Michael Murphy was Student Body President at the University of Florida from April 2019. He was born in Orlando, Florida and later moved to Fairfax Station, Virginia. Murphy went on to attend the University of Florida as an out-of-state student, and he became an Alpha Tau Omega brother, a Reitz Scholar, a leader in Dance Marathon, a member of the University of Florida Board of Trustees, and Student Body President. In October 2019, he paid Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle $50,000 to appear at a school event, and, on 13 November 2019, the student government began impeachment proceedings against him, arguing that the speaking engagement was a misuse of student fees. The student senate overwhelmingly voted to impeach him.
